Glavine makes G-Braves rehab start

Braves pitcher Tom Glavine will make another rehab start for Class AAA Gwinnett today against the Indianapolis Indians. Game time is 2:05 p.m.

Glavine is expected to throw about 75 pitches.

Glavine gave up three earned runs and five hits in a three-inning rehab start for Gwinnett on Saturday. He threw a total of 56 pitches, 33 for strikes, and was clocked in the mid-80s.

The 43-year-old left-hander has been on the disabled list all season, recovering from August shoulder and elbow surgeries. He suffered a setback April 12 when he re-aggravated his shoulder swinging the bat in a rehab start for Class AA Mississippi.

Glavine was 2-4 with a 5.54 ERA in 13 starts in 2008 for the Braves before season-ending surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow and clean out wear-and-tear damage to the shoulder. He had never been on the DL before last season.

He signed a one-year, $1 million contract that includes up to $3.5 million in bonuses, including $1 million if he makes the active roster, in the winter.
